The dog cartoon illustrates well why kitchen cabinets are not made like that (at least, none I have seen); they have solid boards in the toe space under the cabinets. That way, dogs can specialize in losing things under sofas, where they belong. Also occasionally under the refrigerator.

I am unable to figure out, via Google, what the deal is with Simon and Disney. Some articles suggest it was a one-episode collaboration related to Simon (the human’s) appearance at VidCon 2012. However, a site called Petside says “Simons’s cat is now being featured on Disney Shorts on YouTube where animal lovers can enjoy watching animated and live action Disney cartoons and short films. Simon’s Cat has joined the ranks of other beloved Disney presentations such as Disney’s Classic Cartoons, the Mini Adventures of Winnie the Pooh, and the Muppets. Simon’s Cat has been added to Disney Shorts as one of their ‘Beloved favorite short animations and films selected from Disney Classics and new originals’.” Is House of Mouse merely including Simon’s work on their YouTube channel; is it a distribution deal? Or are they “in control,” does he work for them now? I’m not sure.
